lyrics

It's fortunate that I'm not a detective
my detection skills are highly defective
I'm livin' in a daze
it's lucky I'm not a handyman
because my hands could hardly stand it man
and I'd break it anyway
and anythng in data analysis would result in a state of paralysis
by the middle of the day

but my my real job is you
that's where my hours go
to get you in my arms I'm slaving away,
I'm checking the accounts but there's still no pay
I'll call up payroll I suppose
my real job is you

it fortunate that I'm not a signwriter
every sign I'd write would be to invite ya
out for the night (awww)
it's lucky that I'm not a dental assistant
I hate small talk, I'm cold and distant
and I don't brush right
and anything to do with word or excel
hurls me down into a microsoft hell
I'd just rather not alright...

well my real job is you
that's where my efforts go
I don't wanna make it sound like you're hard work
cos that'd make me sound like a real jerk
but you sure keep me on my toes
my real job is you

rrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! wooh!

It lucky I'm not in the military service
all those guys with guns would sure make me nervous
I might say the wrong thing
and I used to work in a call centre
of course all that trying to sell surveys made me hoarse
I had no voice left to sing
and though you make me work overtime
you make me dress up and you take what's mine
I can't take breaks or anything

my real job is you
that's where my hours go
I still haven't found any red flags
in most jobs 'round the time just drags
but with you the hours flow
my real job is you
